Get Your Bachelor’s Degree in Orlando Magic Fandom

This isn’t a real Bachelor’s Degree. Yet, anyway. However, what if you could earn a diploma in Orlando Magic fandom? What would the curriculum look like? How would the 4 years of course load be planned out? Well, Professor Papageorgiou is here to help all beginners, intermediate level Magic fans, and die hard Orlando experts sharpen up on 26 years of Magic basketball related topics.

You’re a freshman, we don’t want to overwhelm you with too much. We’re going to ease you into the course work as you get to have fun watching all of T-MAC’s games from what should have been an MVP season. It’s interesting how the team as a whole transforms following the Mike Miller for Drew Gooden and Gordan Giricek deal.

50 Shades of Goggles

We’re going to analyze the eye-wear and masks of players such as Horace Grant, Bo Outlaw, Danny Schayes, Courtney Lee, and more. We’ll see how these players performed before, during, and after (if applied) without their protective gear.

The History of KAPAYA!!!

The favorite word of Jeff Turner has been utilized a lot during radio and television play-by-play clutch moments in Magic history.

6 Degrees of Penny Hardaway

A course that proves that you can tie Penny Hardaway back to any NBA player within the last 30 years using teams and coaches as well as players that were heavily influenced by Penny’s unique style of play such as: Amar’e Stoudemire, LeBron James , Tracy McGrady, Gilbert Arenas and more.

Head Coach Timeline Plotting

Simply put, we’re examining every Magic Head Coach and how they performed with their various rosters.

This is basically a cleverly disguised topic on the ’99-’00 Heart N’ Hustle squad in which Ben Wallace played 81 of the 82 contests that season. Most of which were with a broken foot. Dude is tough as nails. This is a fact: The Magic media and Doc Rivers‘ coaching staff would keep track of win-loss records in which Big Ben either styled his hair as an afro or in cornrows. We’ll watch every game and see how Big Ben performed in each style.

It speaks for itself but we’ll mention the team impacts of leg injuries to guys like Grant Hill, Anfernee Hardaway, even STUFF. As well as lesser known Magic men.

The Quantification of ‘Fat Guy’ Laps

You perform a group project with peers in which you research how many in-arena laps did ‘Fat Guy’ Dennis Salvagio run, what the distance comes out to, and how many calories were burned off. The group that comes the closest on all statistics wins replicas of the Fat Guy’s colorful and creativity Magic game suits.

Vocal Pedagogy: Analyzing Paul Porter

Studying the vocals of the best Public Address Announcer the NBA has ever heard.

Playoffs and Their Cardiological Effects

We take test subject volunteers, attach them to a heart monitor and we all watch every Magic playoff game ever. We notate and analyze any variations and up-ticks in the test subject’s heart rate during crunch time, blow outs, Magic celebrations, and moments of despair.

For the more adventurous students, we also provide a Summer Foreign Exchange Studies program where you can take trips to see the home lands of guys like Beno Udrih, John Amaechi, Gordan Giricek, Nikola Vucevic, Marcin Gortat, Darko Milicic, and many more.
